CLEANING COMPOSITION.

No Drawing. Application filed August 8 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES T. HEN- SHALL and LESLIE I. Coconvs, citizens of the United States, residing at the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Imrovements in Cleaning Compositions, of

which the following is a specification.

in which the diseased organ or part to be treated is subjected to the direct action of radio-active rays or gaseous emanations emitted by pure radium, radium bromide or one of the radio-active salts. A few mineral groups are known to contain radioactive matter, and certain spring waters in Central Europe are known to be charged therewith.

Treatment with packs containing radioactive matter, obtained from one mineral group or another, and baths taken in the spring waters referred to, promote general health, vigor and vitality, and alleviate, and

I sometimes even cure, diseases; but all treatments of this character are very expensive and as fairly few individuals can afford a trip to Europe, it is obvious that only a small percentage is able to benefit by such applications and treatments.

The object of the present invention is to provide a compound containing radio-active matter and other ingredients which may be so cheaply manufactured and distributed that practically any individual requiring treatment of this character may acquire the same.

Our compound is manufactured in the form of a soap and is used as such when taking a bath or otherwise. The compound contains a finely powdered radio-active mineral, sodium perborate, aluminum sulphate and powdered borax; these ingredients being mixed with a suitable form of soap which acts as a carrier therefor.

In preparing the composition we prefer to use the ingredients in about the following 1923. Serial No. 656,459.

proportions, to-wit: torbernite, radio-active mineral ore, ground to a finely powdered state or approximately one hundred mesh, (fifty per cent. by weight) twenty .per cent. SOdlllIIl perborate, twenty per cent. aluminum sulphate, ten per cent. powdered borax. These ingredients are all finely ground and mixed 1n any suitable manner and are .then added to a suitable form of soap so that they may be molded in the form of cakes and distributed as such;-the proportion of soap to the above ingredients being twothirds soap and one-third of the ingredients. The ingredients are added to the soap and thoroughly mixed with the same when the soa is in a. semi-molten plastic condition an are then permltted to harden with the soap when this is molded.

Radio-active minerals are continuously emitting penetrating raystand are also givmg off emanations in a gaseous form. The rays and the emanations are very powerful and beneficial results are obtained.

The soap when used in a bath is naturally dissolved and the radio-active matter is thus liberated and thoroughly mixed with the water. The radio-active matter exerts a gentlvsoothing action and yet establishes rapid rejuvenation of the skin. It aids in banlshing such imperfections as pimples, freckles, etc.; the sodium perborate producng a bleaching action, and the aluminum sulphate, which is an astringent, aids in closing the pores.

. he natural-circulation of the blood is produced by the radio-active substance and it thus builds up weakened tissue and promotes general health.

The radio-active minerals do not only clear the skin, but they treat the eyes, nose and throat as well: a treatment that is invigorating and which has permanency.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A composition of the character described, comprising a finely ground tobernite ore, (fifty per cent. by weight), twenty per cent. sodium perborate, twenty per cent. aluminum sulphate, ten per cent. powdered borax; the above being mixed with soap in the proportion of one-third to two-thirds by measure of soap.
